Only 1.8% are students from poor families: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/college-mobility/harvard-university https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/

  That is 100% not what the link says.

    Hey, 82% are not 1%ers! That distribution really is extremely heavily skewed, so I think the original comment is correct, I can't see how it's improving equality. If 1.8% were poor and Harvard helped them become rich adults, probably 65% were rich and Harvard helped them stay rich as adults.
